5 Points in Academia-Industry collaboration adressed by CSO
• Change of mindset among scientists– Introduce and support entrepreneurship culture
• Secure resources at the TTO for spin-outs– Hire people enough with proper qualifications, long term
basis.• Earlier involvement of industry via collaboration
– Early involvement, but with a clear and transparent policy• Setting the team and picking the roles in the Spin-out
– competences, driving factors, expectations• Keep the pace up and the bureaucracy down
– Momentum is important as well as diminishing unnecessary administration
